National Public Radio has teamed up with KUSC in Los Angeles and CPRN in Colorado to begin offering a new classical music service. “NPR will offer the service to its 732 member stations, 472 of which already carry classical music. “We’re giving them more to work with. The service’s economy of scale will enable even small outlets to have high-quality announcing and programming.” The music service will compete with existing networks produced by Minnesota Public Radio and Chicago’s Beethoven Network.
